St1b Waste Anesthetic Gases: the Invisible Threat
Waste anesthetic gases (WAGs) can be defined as all halogenated organic compounds (including methoxyflurane, halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane, and enflurane) and nitrous oxide that escape from the anesthetic circuit, or are exhaled by the patient. Management of WAGs intuitively seems prudent, but because excessive exposure is often difficult to detect without special monitoring de...

متن کاملRemoval of Triethylamine Vapor from Waste Gases by Biotrickling Filter
Sampling of triethylamine in the cold-box unit in an auto-manufacturing company in Iran has indicated the average concentration of 430 mg/m3 in the emission duct. In this study a biotrickling filter was used for treatment of triethylamine in air stream. Triethylamine removal efficiency (K/L) pattern was evaluated by changing volumetric loading (L), superficial gas velocity (Uo), empty bed gas r...
